Serial entrepreneurs are so much fun – and the honesty and openness of my next guests is refreshing……and enlightening.
Leah Itsines and Mitch Caon co-founded BARE - the Balanced And Realistic Eating Guide – a “realistic’ way of looking at food. They have a big following, including over half a million Instagram followers.
But the BARE Guide isn’t the only thing they’ve launched – they have had a lot, and I mean a lot of business ideas, and many failures along the way….and it’s this piece that is so important for you to listen to.
It’s all great when we hear stories of success, but listening to people’s failures is even more important – because it’s from this much learning comes.
We cover a lot of ground, including:
- The critical importance of staying true to your Vision and your Brand, and what happens when you stray from this
- Are all entrepreneurs control freaks?
- How being a “couple” can work really well in business (if you define your roles well)
- How important it is to not to be scared to fail. You will only get better and better.
- The importance of true customer feedback, not just the feedback from biased friends and family
If you want to find out more about Leah, Mitch or BARE Guide, head to our website www.theselfmadetheory.com/podcast where we have our show notes, plus all the ways you can engage with them. PLUS, we have some great photos of them & their business in there as well.
Until next time….keep INNOVATING, OVERCOMING and PROSPERING

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
